5.0 out of 5 stars Many-Layered Senior Sleuthing
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016

4.5/5 stars. In this engaging mystery that doesn't follow the usual formula, Susan Wiles has chosen volunteering at a preschool and amateur sleuthing to stay busy in retirement. Her daughter Lynette nor her husband discourage her, and her new found birth mother has her own mystery she'd like Susan to solve that may lead back to Susan's father. As a main character, Susan is likable, impulsive, and well-developed for her role in the story and series. Weiner presents multiple possible avenues for investigation and it's not apparent until the end who killed Shelley Hall or why. A clean read, with family issues as well as mystery, this was a good read for multiple audiences. The mystery is stand-alone, but the relationships continue from the first in the series. While the immediate mystery is solved, there are still questions to be answered in the next in the series.

I have enjoyed reading the "Murder is ...." series. I would give it 5 stars if she didn't leave us dangling at the end. The murder is solved but she always ends with a paragraph about something that makes you want to pick up the next book. I have read all in the series and hope that she continues with the series.

This book had so many mysteries intertwined. Just when I thought I knew the answer to one, there was a twist. Susan just cannot stay away from trouble. Having her birth mother in New York definitely added to the drama. Discovering who her birth father was at the end leads me to Murder is Legal as my next book.

This is a confusing book...on one hand it compelled me to finish the story; on the other I was very annoyed by the lead character’s stupidity, impulsiveness & self-centered behavior. I don’t understand how the author can think this character is appealing to readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great characters/truly developmental!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018

I especially love the character development in Diane Weiner's always warm and cozy, yet intriguing and never predictable mysteries.
The characters are real people, mostly lovable and sometimes quirky; their actions are often warm and caring, yet even exasperating at appropriate times. Each book keeps you wondering and reassessing until the very end. The main characters leave you eagerly awaiting their next mystery to be solved.

I really liked this cozy. The plot was more involved than usual for cozies. Good characterizations and I enjoyed their interactions. However, I did wonder why the birth mother stayed on so long without more explanations but very enjoyable!

At its best! Susan never knew her biological Mom, and loved heradted Mom. Then her bio Mom turns up, she has a brother. She gets into sticky situations, and this one has so many interesting directions to look, it will keep you hanging on until the end.

Although these books are stand alone, they end with the reader wanting to read more. The characters were well developed and the ending a complete surprise.
